When going on the freeway. Right around 3k rpm. Annoying as hell. I don think it did this when it was new....

 

...is it when you step on the gas, if it is then its NORMAL.

please try searching...please

 

Its just ur airbox, its normal

 

....yea try searching please...IMO sounds great...

 

You didn't, by any chance, install an intake, did you? When I had an integra I installed a K&N Typhoon intake and right around that rev level it really whistled/screeched - it sounded horrible. The very quiet sound the tC makes is just fine with me.

 

it's called an intake. the tC was designed like that so it would replicate that sound.

 

its very normal for the tc. its loudest at 3k going around 80 on the highway. can hear it echo off the walls. i like the sound of it.

 

does anybody have a video with how it sounds??

 

i think it might actually be caused by the little box thats just off the tubing, i have no clue for sure. i know a couple people put rubber stopper things on that, wonder if it changed it. IMO it sounds great. i love that sound.

 

whats IMO?

 

Its not that little box thing. my tc started making more of a whistle when i removed it and put on an Umnitza intake. at about 3k under steady acc anything over that the intake drowns it out.

 

In my opinion.

 

it whistles hella loud with my weapon R intake everytime i press the gas pedal. i'm guessing its from the air being sucked into the throttle body through the intake/airbox... correct me if i'm wrong please, i'm only guessing.

 

I'm sure you're right - I haven't heard the Weapon R, but that effin noise is the whole reason I'm not putting an intake on my tC - they spend a lot of time shaping the airbox to get just the right sound and sound level - I seriously doubt the aftermarket manufacturers put that much thought or science into it. I want the performance gains without the screeching.

 

it's not like a screeching, but it sounds more like the whistling from a turbo.

 

My last car with an intake had a pretty loud whistle, but it was a screechy whistle right around 3200 RPMs. So it would come and go as you accelerated (almost worse than always being there). It was pretty loud and it almost sounded like a loose belt or soemthing. It wasn't "performancy"... it was crappy sounding.

 

its from our intakes? man, i thought those were our turbo spools!

 

It does it stock, but is much louder with a CAI. Sounds ok to me.

 

i like the sound of it... it's cool...

 

I have an injen intake and mine whistles too. It sounds like its sucking in air... doesn't sound bad like a loose belt or anything.
